Opposite-sex couples set to gain civil partnership financial advantage

Today on the show, I'm talking about proposals to make civil partnerships available to opposite-sex couples, and the financial advantages this would bring. There's also a roundup of the latest personal finance news, and a cautionary tale in the aftershow; don't drink the water from the lake at Hever Castle! Millions of unmarried couples could be better off financially following new government proposals. The proposals are designed to extend civil partnerships to opposite-sex couples, resulting in these individuals becoming entitled to a range of financial wins.
